In 2014, the Bau Family generously pledged a sum from the estate of the late Mr Bau Man-Kwong Maurice for the establishment of a scholarships fund in honour of their parents, Dr Bau Tsu-Zung and Mrs Bau Kwan Yeu-Hing.
The late Dr Bau Tsu Zung was an alumnus of HKU, having graduated from the Medical Faculty in 1927 and received a Doctor of Medicine in 1932, thus starting the family's connection to the University. The Scholarships will benefit deserving undergraduate and postgraduate medical students in the pursuit of excellence in their studies.
Read the giving story:
The purpose of the Scholarship is to encourage and reward students who have had a very different set of life experiences, growing up under trying circumstances yet have managed to succeed against adversity.
The Scholarship shall be awarded annually to first-year undergraduate students of the Medical Faculty on the basis of academic merit and financial need.
Preference will be given to students from less advantaged backgrounds, those who belong to minority groups orthose who otherwise have had a harder early life than others. Students from non-traditional paths with solid academic achievements, particularly from underprivileged families, will be given priority.
